Mont Blanc Hakuba Familia
Hakuba Familia is the closest location to Hakuba Goryu out of the three hotels of the Hotel Mont Blanc Hakuba group. Much like the other locations do, they also offer courtesy pick up and drop offs from the local stations and bus stops to ensure you begin your holiday with ease.
This hotel has a more casual feel compared to the other two locations, and the rates are an at a more reasonable rate. They offer larger rooms that accommodate up to 6 people and also available are adjoining rooms which will accommodate 7 people in total. Most of the rooms here are designed in a western style with beds, and some come complete with private bathrooms complete with a tub.
While staying at Hakuba Familia, one thing you don’t want to miss out on is having some quiet time and relaxing in one of their two hot spring baths. There’s the aromatic Japanese cypress bath and a stone tiled bath – both can be enjoyed in private after 8pm – just book in with the reception ahead of time.
Thanks to their affordable rates and convenient facilities such as their laundry facility, Hakuba Familia would be suitable for younger travellers or those who are coming to stay in Hakuba for a while.
